Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

The command tank Liao Changfeng was riding in was a Sherman tank equipped with a radio.

Charge into the middle of the attack formation.

He calmly observed the battlefield through the observation window.

The jolting and roaring of the tank, mixed with the intense gunfire outside, kept his mind exceptionally clear.

"Watch out for that graveyard to your left front; there might be anti-tank fire."

"Vehicle No. 3, provide cover for the infantry to clear out the remaining enemy on the right flank."

"Second round of rocket artillery fire, target area C, interception fire."

"Don't let the Japanese reinforcements from behind get up."

Liao Changfeng's order was concise and clear.

Under his command, the entire armored brigade's offensive edge was like a sophisticated war machine, ruthlessly cutting through and shattering the Japanese defenses in front.

The commander of the reinforced Japanese regiment defending this place.

At this moment, in the temporary command post at the rear, they were stunned by the sudden and unexpected fierce firepower of the expeditionary force's counterattack.

Through the binoculars, he saw his own position burning in flames.

It appeared in the distance, a group of steel behemoths advancing unstoppably.

It was their side, the retreating soldiers.

"Baka!"

"These damned Chinese, why do they have so many tanks and heavy artillery?!"

The Japanese regimental commander roared in exasperation.

"Damn Americans, how dare the Chinese be so arrogant without their weapons and equipment?"

The Japanese regimental commander was furious.

"Get me Captain Fujino..."

The Japanese regimental commander roared.

Unfortunately, their regimental headquarters and other subordinate units had largely lost communication.

His command had long since failed.

This armored torrent of steel from the expeditionary force's armored brigade was completed in less than an hour.

This completely breached the defenses of the Japanese regiment.

Their troops advanced directly towards the village where their regimental headquarters was located.

As the tracks of the Sherman tank rolled over the fence surrounding the village.

When the tank's main gun blasted the last Japanese machine gun bunker at the village entrance into the air.

The will to resist of the remaining Japanese troops in the surrounding area finally collapsed.

The remaining Japanese soldiers dropped their weapons and fled in terror.

Even the threat of Japanese officers with guns from behind could not stop the avalanche-like retreat.

The defeat of this elite Japanese regiment was like the final horn signaling the annihilation of the remnants of the attacking Japanese 25th Army.

A gap appeared in the attack formation of the Japanese 25th Army.

"Continue the advance!"

Liao Changfeng seized the opportunity and ordered his armored brigade to continue its advance.

They want to take this opportunity to widen the gap.

Half a day later, this breach, which was the first to be penetrated by the armored brigade, was discovered.

This became the Japanese invaders' fatal weakness.

"What? The armored brigade has breached the defenses?"

Okay, I understand.

Order the New First Division to immediately follow up and pursue them across the entire front!

Don't give the Japanese a chance to reorganize!

Upon receiving the news, Zhou Pingkou in the general headquarters decisively issued an order.

The expeditionary force's tanks and infantry continued to roll, drive, and annihilate.

At this point, less than a day had passed since the Japanese launched their offensive, and the battle was progressing remarkably smoothly.

Half a day later, Zhou Pingkou received another report from the air force and officers at all levels on the front lines, discovering that at least three Japanese regiments had been routed.

"Order that both reserve divisions be committed to the attack as well."

"Launching a full-scale counterattack! Drive that old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki and his tens of thousands of little devils back into the sea!"

Zhou Pingkou shouted excitedly.

The ensuing battle turned into a one-sided pursuit.

The Japanese soldiers, already suffering from a shortage of weapons and ammunition and low morale, were no longer as effective as before.

This time, they encountered a well-equipped and highly motivated main force of the expeditionary force, so it was only natural that they were easily defeated.

When the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki received news of the frontline defeat at the command post, he also collapsed into his chair in a daze.

He never expected that his tens of thousands of elite troops would be so easily defeated.

"Commander, let's go quickly."

We have prepared a small boat to escort you across the strait to the island of Sumatra on the other side…

A Japanese chief of staff nearby anxiously advised the old Japanese soldier, Yamashita Tomoyuki.
